WASHINGTON — The biggest name in the Democratic Party plans to speak Wednesday at Denver's Cheesman Park, but President Barack Obama won't be sharing the stage with three Colorado Democrats now in the fight of their political careers.
Missing from the morning event — which is closed to the public but open to the media — will be U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Andrew Romanoff, the former state House speaker now running for a seat in Congress.
All three Democrats are locked in competitive elections this fall, but aides to each one said the boss won't be attending the event because of prior commitments. The White House said Obama would be talking about the economy and the president's efforts to shore up economic opportunity for the middle class.

Well, since you didn't back up your accusation, I looked it up for you.

To be fair, the mistake appeared to be a case of a verbal stumble -- not actual confusion about which country she was supposed to support.

You're not off to a good start here.

No, I think the problem I see here with you is like the rest of the handful of partisan hacks we have here, your laughter is only for one side.

You might want to observe that all of them are not taken seriously here and decide whether or not you want to go down that road.

Huffington Post, which is quite liberal, seemed to understand that it was nothing more than a momentary gaff since she had correctly referred to SK and NK otherwise in that discussion. You on the other hand seem to want to beat it to death. That smells like partisan hacksmanship to me.
